Old '88 04:14
It was my car back then at the start And in Tahlequah where I studied art Those hour drives when I’d visit home Those quiet nights driving alone With no distractions I could hear Him speak And seek His mercy I could pray and think Old ‘88 Wasn’t it great? To drive and contemplate everything Old ‘88 My time to escape Into the records I still relate to those years Lord, You grabbed my heart when I left home The Spirit gave life to the Word I had known The stars at night shone bright with Your glory I could see Your love woven into my story With no distractions I could hear You speak And seek Your mercy I could pray and think Old ‘88 Wasn’t it great? To drive and contemplate everything Old ‘88 My time to escape Into the records I still relate to those years

I know you’re zealous for freedom And you fear what the future may hold When you think that they’ve stolen what’s promised You may think that it’s time to revolt But the Savior’s here Just follow and trust in Me Simon, oh, Simon the Zealot Would you lay down your sword and follow Me? You can take heart in this world, I’ve overcome it And we’ll win this with love for enemies Oh, Simon. Oh, Simon the Zealot I have come with Good News of the Kingdom And it’s not about Roman defeat Because the Kingdom isn’t here, it’s in Heaven And it spreads through the hearts of My sheep Oh, the Savior’s here Just follow and trust in Me Simon, oh, Simon the Zealot Would you lay down your sword and follow Me? I will break down the wall of division And I’ll make even Gentiles free Oh, Simon. Oh, Simon the Zealot
4.
Lord, I know that You’re here In this pain I feel, You are near Your power proves strong when I’m weak When I lay it down, Lord, You speak Unfulfilled dreams You have better things It’s not always how I might think But You answer prayer with Your strength All present things can’t compare To the coming glories You’ve prepared We’ve not yet seen But You have better things When I look around at my life Your faithfulness, Lord, it shines bright All these loved ones around me Not a greater gift could there be You know what I need And You have better things

Oh, you have prepared a Better Country All these current lands are temporary homes Let us be a glimpse of this Better Country Through the narrow way that you’ve lived and shown We are exiles in the temporary Together we are heirs of the Promised Land Lord, you know the pains of temporary Help us be a light walking hand-in-hand Oh, we are exiles here Oh, bring the Better Country Some have lost their homes in the temporary But they’ve gained a family that spans the globe You can hear the sound in the better country Of every tribe proclaiming Jesus You’re our Hope Oh, we are exiles here Oh, bring the Better Country
7.
O, Lowly Savior Help us with our pride You came as a servant And on the cross you died If part of the body should suffer May we all suffer too Could none be needy among us We’re all one in You Let us fight for one another Sisters, brothers, family of God Lowly Savior, friend, and brother Help us be the family of God Don’t want to seek more honor I just want to belong He’s given each us of giftings For one resounding song Above myself, to honor others Sisters, brothers, family of God Lowly Savior, friend, and brother Help us be the family of God

I think of our friend Tracy The joy when they got him a home No more sleeping under the overpass And I think of those kids In that after-school program We did our best to bring some fun When they were done with class Don’t want my head in the clouds I want to live a servant’s life Do good to all As we have opportunity I want to live each day and do good to all I want to grasp The joy set before you, God That you would come down And live a life to be poured out Healer of the sick A friend to those who don’t belong For outcasts and sinners You poured yourself out Don’t want my head in the clouds I want to live a servant’s life And do good to all As we have opportunity I want to live each day and do good to all Freedom is given that we might give ourselves Then we’re truly living And you’re the Endless Well
9.
When the fire blazes And the raging river runs How will we be shaped And what will we become You made us for Your glory O, ancient Holy One Let us be shaped for You And let Your Kingdom come All praise to You, King Jesus All praise to Your name There was no god before You Nor after will there be We are Your witnesses Of ancient, You are He From the ends of the earth You gather all those called by Your name Your people loved and precious In You we are redeemed All praise to You, King Jesus All praise to Your name You made us for Your glory O, ancient Holy One We will be shaped for You O, let Your Kingdom come
